problem with dragging wire corners in eeschema

[Novak Tamas]

When I drag a corner of wires with pushing G, eeschema selects the corner and all connecting wires will be moved together. But when a "Clarify selection" appears (as there is another adjacent symbol), connecting wires are shown independently, so corner is not moved together, but only a single line segment.
Maybe a "joint of wires" should be on the Clarify list instead of individual wires...

This will likely be changed with the introduction of the modern toolset.

[Novak Tamas (novak-7)]

No, it happens already on Accelerated modern toolset (F11). This mode is really great, as moving large blocks are fast now (and was painful at older eeschema), but the Clarify menu should be re-designed to be able to catch wire corners.
Anyway, version info should contain the actual graphics mode, as we are in a permanent transition for years.

One more video, even more strange. (the first case when the upper junction moves)

[Michael Kavanagh (michaelkavanagh)]

@Novak, Eeschema still uses the Legacy toolset but with the modern canvases for rendering (yes the Preferences menu is misleading). It will be moved over to the Modern toolset in v6 (work currently in progress) where the selection tool model will change.

[Novak Tamas (novak-7)]

Sorry, all I know that I've experienced dramatic speed increase lately: moving larger blocks of schema was terrible in older versions: block redraw took 2..5 seconds; now it is redrawn at 20-30+ fps.

This appears to be fixed as of d281f051ed9fe2156dbc9615149186dbc725f120.

[Michael Kavanagh (michaelkavanagh)]

I quickly tested this and couldn't recreate the original issue, so setting this as fix committed for now. However, Eeschema in the master branch is currently under heavy development at the moment so I'd expect there to be more issues/behaviour changes in the future.

I still see this issue.
Attached screenshot shows what happens when dragging a wire corner.
The corner gets dragged correctly and one end of the wire stays put. But the global label object is also dragged, which is wrong.

Eeschema now supports selections. The label is selected, so it gets dragged.

[Novak Tamas (novak-7)]

IMO the issue is with object selection. I try to be more specific:
If there are two crossing but not attached wires, and I select the crossing,
instead of displaying a Clarify box for choosing from the two wires, a strange block gets selected and dragged. See attached video. The first case is the issue...others are fine.

[Novak Tamas (novak-7)]

...and it seems problem arise when there is a pin connection point in close proximity
